Cab Barstool Contract

“This was a new kind of chair, constructed totally out of leather, much cloned since then.” Thus Mario Bellini describes Cab, a best-seller that he designed in the 1970s, which is now a signature piece in Cassina’s I Contemporanei collection. Cab was the first-ever chair to feature a free-standing leather structure, inspired by how our skin fits over our skeleton. The pieces are sewn together only when their outer edges have been trimmed to ensure a perfect fit. Once assembled, the cover is attached to the chair’s steel skeleton and held in place by means of a zipper fastening, as in a bespoke tailored garment. From the original model over the years a family of stools has also been developed, now available in 2 heights and in the new slim version with a lower backrest, making it more versatile for home use and also for public areas and bars, all also available in the new Plus leathers. in pure aniline.
